The issue I have is e.g. if std.process (a locked-API normal module in  
this instance) uses std.log (an experimental module subject to API  
breaking changes).  I am not using std.log directly, so my code is not  
subject to breakage if std.log changes.  I assume that since std.process  
and std.log live together, a change to std.log's API will be covered with  
an appropriate change to std.process.  But I still see the warning without  
version=UseExperimentalLog.  People will simply use that flag and it will  
become trivial.
